W’e are glad however, that, with the same ample means and facilities,and many years of experience as his associates, the surviving partners, who have had the actual manage ment of its affairs for the past eighteen months,will conduct the business as heretofore.

Tobin, Surviving Partners. it is Absurd For people to expect a cure for Indiges tion, unless they refrain from eating what is unwholesome ; but if anything will sharpen the appetite and give tone to the digestive organs, it is Ayer’s Sar saparilla. Thousands all over the land testify to the merits of this medicine. Mrs. Sarah Burroughs, of 248 Eighth street, South Boston, writes : “ My hus band has taken Ayer’s Sarsaparilla, for Dyspepsia and torpid liver, and has been greatly benefited.” A Confirmed Dyspeptic. C. Canterbury, of 141 Franklin st., Boston, Mass., writes, that, suffering for years from Indigestion, he was at last induced to try Ayer’s Sarsaparilla and, by its use, was entirely cured. ( Mrs. Joseph Aubin, of High street, Holyoke, Mass., suffered for over a year from Dyspepsia, so that she could not eat substantial food, became very weak, and was unable to care for her family. Neither the medicines prescribed by physicians, nor any of the remedies advertised for the cure of Dyspepsia, helped her, until she commenced the use of Ayer’s Sarsaparilla. Three bottles of this medicine,” she writes, “ cured me.” • Ayer’s Sarsaparilla, PREPARED BY Dr. J. C. Ayer Sc Co., Lowell, Mass. Price $1; six bottles, $5. IVorth $5 a bottle. THE AMERICAN MERCHANT.

To JillustrateXhe superior commor- ciul ilist inet of the foreign-horn mer- el.antfs who are engaged in trade in the West, I cite Davenport. Iowa. Thirty. J'ears ago Davenport was an important Mississippi River town. The trade of the young city was con trolled by Americans/ They made money rapidly and spent it with tree hands. When the war broke out Davenport was one of the most beau tiful towns in Iowa. The volume of business increased. Money was in plentiful supply, and it was spent freely to improve and beautify the city, of which every merchant in town was proud. During tiie war a sagacious Scandinavian, in whom the irading instinct was strong, arrived at Davenport. He was poor. He hired a small building and stocked one of the front rooms with dry goods. He and bis children tended the store. Not a cent was spent for clerk hi.e. He sold his goons for a little less money than his richer Air rican com petitors. His list of prices was prompt ly carried to the American merchants. I’bey met to consider iiis case. A few of life Americans were in favor of reducing the p. ice of their goods suf ficiently to bankrupt the fceandina- vian, which would then have been eas3’ to do. These men said, witli prophetic wisdom, that if lie was allowed to continue in business his lower prices would surely attract the women to his store, and that they would trade there. They argued Hint lie was at no expense for clerk hire; that he lived cheaply in a few poor rooms, and that if he was not prompt ly crushed he would eventually crush them. Trade, they said was warfare, and the proper time to attack an antagonist was ftlien he was weak and poor, and it was folly to wait until he became powerful before at tacking him. They shook their hands waruingly at the merchants who were relubtant to act and said : “Crush him now or you will regret it.” The uu- wisi merchants shrugged their shoul ders to express contempt, and said, scofingly: “Let the Dutchman alone (all) immigrants from Central and N< /hern Europe were contemptuous ly (illled Dutchmen in those days.) He j. ill get no trade excepting from verj poor people. American ladies not frequent his ill-lighted room.” ic Scandinavian was allowed to *uct his little business in peace. ie was a warrior in trade. HD 'creed was that competition was ife of trade, and that business was cealeless warfare in which victory waa always won by tiie most econoin- ieamy conducted force. The women of (Davenport and of Hoott County, Io\va, diii trade at the dingy shop. To sa\T.‘ a few cents they built up his trajle, and supplied him with tiie me Inns which enabled him to begin a cm ipetitive war which lie waged against their husbands and friends un il lie bankrupted every native- born merchant in town excepting the tin* owner of a wholesale house. And tliis man, the last of the old mer- ch mts who traded in Davenport, will sp:edily he forced to quit business. As the Scandinavian prospered, lie extended his business. To-day lie; ov ns the largest store in town and) ‘ employs about seventy clerks. His I ! eu i-cess is entirely due io the fact that j was u more sagacious trader and ! ore economical in his management an the Americans whom he lias' nkrupted. To-day his competitors Davenport are Germans and Jews, ie foreign-horn merchants own the slores in which the Americans used tj transact business. They live in the nises tiie Americans built for homes, lie) are rich and steadily growing UcIWT. And the Americans whom V few years ago a German named John sachenk suspected that Von Moltke had Iiis eye on him and intended to place a rifile in iiis hands and make a perambulating target out of iiim for Frenchmen to shoot at, so he left Ger many and came to America and to the eastern end of I«ong Island. He found work on a farm. The profits derived from Long Island agriculture were small, far too small to satisfy the shrewd, hard-working German, When Belienk had saved suflicieift money to start in trade for himself lie laid down tiie hoe and hung the scythe and looked around for a business. He wanted a sure thing, and lie speedily found a safe and highly profitable business which had been neglected or mismanaged by its American owner. He bought a butcher’s business and outfit. He set up a horse and market wagon. Daily, excepting Sundays lie loaded fresli meat and fat fowls into his wagon mid drove from house to house to sell his stock in trade. He supplied meat to the people who kept boarders during (lie summer mouths. He catered for city people who own houses by the seashore. He charged a stiff profit on every pound of meat he sold. He Imu no bad debts. His meat wagon and butcher’s shop were always sweet smelling and elouii. To day lie is no longer spoken of as “that Dutchman.” He is worth at lea«t $12,000, and is addressed as “Mr. Schenk.” He annually makes more money than any native horn trader who does business in the township of South Hampton. If lie lives for 2(* years lie will own a large portion of the township. If he lived in the Wsst ha would be called “Col. Schenk.” His success is entirely due to tireless industry, supplemented bv economy and cleanliness. His predecessors in the butchering business h id been in telligent Yankees, not one ot whom had been snccesrful. People who are unable to leave New York can see the process ot gathering the trade of the country into the hands of foreigners going on under their eyes, Merchants wiio are slili in business in New York can remem ber when the commerce and trade of the town were absolutely controlled by Americans, and when almost all the signs which hung above shop doors bore the names of English- speaking people. How is it now?Ride down Broadway in a street ear and look at the beautiful buildings which line that thoroughfare. The stores are large and filled with costly goods, huffu'iiy one-lialf of these stores are owned by foreigners. If the sign of an old American firm is removed it is almost invariably replaced by one bearing a name which terminates in “shine”, or “berg”, or “baiiiu” or “wold”, or “child.” Other streets in New Y’ork afe almost wholly given over to foreigners. The American importers of dry goods have been 'Te-sedflHBBMfeHWiHl 1 ^ TRy in teli y»ni ♦tapes, or'stl, . '— heir names ahov^W®W»or.s and pl'U^ptr where Americans failed. Observant Americans speak of the fact that tiie trade of this country is rapidly p using, and in many towns has already passed, into the hands of foreign-horn merchants, *nd they sav carelessly, as they shrug their shoul ders: “It cannot he beli ed. It is the result of tiie working of the natural law of the survival of the fittest.” They then curse the foreigners and drink a cocktail to their speedy down fall.

Collision. ( Augusta Chronicle.) Macon Ga., Oct., 23.—[Special.]— Tiie third day of the State Fair Was a great success as regards attendance. Every train arriving last night and this morning was packed with pas sengers. The holds, boarding houses and many private residences are crowded to overflowing. The number of visitors is estimated at 25,000 lo 30,- 000. Il would have been fully 50,0 K) but for the terrible weather. It com menced raining yesterday and con tinued all night, and showers fell during to-day. Notwithstanding that fact a great crowd thronged the fair grounds. Many new exhibits were in position to-day, and the exhibition i» now complete and perfect in appear ance. The display is universally con sidered brilliant and highly success ful. Several delayed exhibits arrived this afternoon from the Piedmont Ex hibition. Great crowds are expected to attend the fair to-morrow. Trains arriving to-night were heavily laden. CAltlXO FOR THE CHIEF. Owing to the severe weather, the veterans’ review by Jefferson Davis, appointed for this morning, was post poned until to-morrow morning. The management is unwilling to subject ihe illustrious cnieftuin to exposure and thus jeopardize iiis health—per haps life. When tiie committee noti fied Mr. Davis of their decision tiie grand old man said he was in their hands to do as they and the people saw fit ; that so far as lie was con cerned, neither wind or rain would prevent him making the review. When tiie veterans and visitors gen erally were told of tiie postponement there was no dissenting voice, but they made the welKin ring with shouts for Davis and declared they would not sanction any exposure of that venerable and dearly loved form. Every one lias concluded to remain over to-morrow and participate in the grand demonstration and the oration to the great ex-Presidont. Mr. Davis could not possibly obtain a stronger testimonial of the great love the people bear him than the manner tiiey received the announcement of tiie postponement of the review. PASSING REVIEW. Augusta Chronicle. Newberry. S. C , Oct., 25.—Spe.- cial.—Night before last, at what w as intended ns a social gathering of ne groes in the suburbs of our town, a difficulty arose, and Chief of Police.!. Henry Chappell was sent for and went promptly to tiie scene. Upon arrival he was surrounded by several men, seized and disarmed, and slight injuries inflicted on his person. By this timeOtficer Yancey Miller was on the grounds, and he vtoo was ap proached by ten or twelve men, whom lie ordered to halt, and as they continued.to advance he opened fire and the object of his first aim fled has tily. It was then ncecessary to turn and check the advance in the rear, which tiie gallant officer did quick as thought and even a third fire was neccessary to disperse the villians. The matter was regarded as an unfortunate row in which the powerwpf the brute large ly predominated. Or Monday morn ing. however, near 1 he scene in a field was found the body of a dead negro. He proved to lie the victim of officer Miller’s first aim. A jury was at once a, summoned and an inquest held, the ; verdict of wliicli, was that the negro ’ came to his death from a pistol /> wound in tiie hands of Yancey Mil ler, who was in the discharge of his duty. Officer Miller will apply for bail,it is said,and stand iiis trial. if-, i< * Nhii The Double Afllietiou of Mem phis.

It explains itself : “You ask me whether 1 would not like to be in Atlanta just now. Well, yes, perhaps, A large crowd is inter esting always, and I would not object to seeing the President and doing him honor, for he is, I think, a true, brave man, and if Mrs. Cleveland is as bon- nie as they say she is, of course I’d like to see her. But, my dear, my heart would he far, far away with an old and lonely man, bowed, not s* much with ye. rs as with tiie weight of our sorrows and our sins, if sins there be.

Greenville News. At the time when tiie Atlanta Con stitution was displaying supurb mean ness in belittling Charleston's earth quake calamity, and counseling the wrtholding of contributions from the stricken city’, the Greenville News re marked that Atlanta’s time would come. It has come now. Atlanta has been visited by thousands of strangers and they have come away disgusted. The city made a mis erable failure in entertaining its guests. Next week, Charleston begins her “Gaia week.” Thousands of people will go from every section ol the Slate and the time of Charleston’s triumph will be when she sends her guests away pleased with tiie city' and pleased with their treatment. Every one who knows the city, is assured that she will do this. \Ve do not need the Daily Ssiin’s assurance that “no guest can go hungry or slsep cold,” in Charleston.

Mr. t Davis arose stVengthenod by the ex citement of the occasion and made a le.v remarks of glowing eloquence and melting pathos. He was greeted by tiie wildest and most enthusiastic cheering. Tiie demonstration ex ceeded anything of the kind ever seen in Macon. Veterans wept, hurrahed and yelled. It was an inspiring scene. Gov. Gordon followed Mr. Davis in a speech of burning patriotism and beauty that thrilled and delighted every one. A DRAMATIC EPISODK. A dramatic episode occurred during the ovation. Captain T. T. Musen- burg the late gallant commander of the Jackson artillery, bore in tiie line the old and tattered tlag of the Jack- son artillery, which passed through twelve battles. When Mr. Davis saw it he wept in great emotion, clasping i! to ins bosom and then waved it over his head, which action was received with great shouts by the throng. He also tore a piece from its folds. Tin* veterans desired to shake hands with him, but lie did not have sufficient strength for this ordeal, and they had to he contented witli the sight of him and a few remarks. IN THIR G ROUXDH. About 3 o’clock the weather began to clear and Mr. Davis and Ids distin gnislied party drove to the fair grounds where he was greeted by 20,009enthu siastic people. He made a short ad dress. Gov. Gordon. Senator Colquitt ex-Gov. Watt of Alabama. lien. Henry R. Jackson* Gen. Clement Evans and other eminent speakers addressed the multitude. To-morrow the review of veterans and demontrations will be grand. Tiie young men’s torchlight proces sion to-night under command of Col. Wiley, was grand and elaborate, Several thousand torches and many transparencies were in tiie procession. All houses on the line of march were brilliantly illuminated and many bonfires were burning. Cannon were firing and tliere was .a great pyro technic display.
